2025 Kina Open - RESULTS
The premier event on the club's calendar, the Kina Open, was played over the weekend of
26 - 27 April. Conditions were ideal and the course was green (unlike last year) thanks
to the recent rain. In a field of 75 golfers there were some tight contests, none more so
than the battle for the major prize - the Kina Cup.
Congratulations to all the winners with special mentions to:
Regan Chambers (Tasman) - Overall Best Net (136) and winner of the Kina Cup (on c/b)
Jack Bell (Motueka) - Senior Gross Winner (142) and winner of the Tasman Trophy
Lance Nuttall (Marlborough) - Senior Best Net Winner (137)
Nick Thomsen (Greenacres) - winner of the Patron's Tankard (gross 142)
Lou Kelly (Tasman) - Women's Best Net Winner (153)
Jo Rainbird (Rarangi) - Women's Best Gross Winner (177)

Huge thanks to our amazing sponsors, we couldn't do this without you. Likewise to our team of volunteers who cook, clean, weed, mow, ball-spot, keep the BBQ fired up,
man the bar and do all manner of things to make this event a success. You are all superstars!
Big thanks also to Greenkeeper Tom Rush and the grounds team - another great job in
preparing the course to a high standard. Never easy, nice work.
